Summary

Wikipedia Source: Clora Bryant Clora Bryant is an American jazz trumpeter. She started in music as a singer in her Baptist church, but took up the trumpet after her brother, Frederick Bryant, left it on going into the Army in 1941. She studied improvisation using a wire recorder to record her own soloing along with jazz records, and studying the results. She became adept at a variety of genres, from jazz to classical, and performing versions of famous jazz solos of the day. In addition, she honed her own unique improvisational skills in jam sessions along Central Avenue in Los Angeles, the center of the mid-40s West Coast African-American jazz scene.
